As part of our commitment to openness and transparency we publish monthly details of the payments we made to external bodies and suppliers, and all credit notes.
To ensure the privacy of individuals and confidentiality some payments made by the council may not be listed or only provided in part.
The information is published in accordance with the Local Public Data Panel guidance , and is available in the following formats:

In the Local Spending Data we publish there may be multiple lines for each transaction number, this is because the value of an invoice may be allocated to a number of different cost centres and account codes.
